Left Bank Pessac-Léognan: gravelly plateau Cabernet aged in French oak, structured for 15+ years.
Château Croizet-Bages sits on the gravelly plateau of Pessac-Léognan's left bank, where Quaternary deposits and iron-rich clay create the mineral backbone of serious Bordeaux. The 2020 vintage fermented in temperature-controlled vats before 18 months in French oak (40% new), building the architectural tannin structure this terroir demands.
The wine carries the signature austerity of young left-bank Graves: black currant, graphite minerality, and a spine of acidity that will soften only with bottle age. Drinking window opens around 2026–2027 and extends comfortably to 2040. This is not a fruit-forward expression; it is a wine built for patience and food.
Sommelier’s pick: Grilled lamb chops with rosemary and garlic · Duck confit with cherry gastrique · Aged Comté cheese with walnut bread
